    Nosler 28 vs 30

    Shot some of both and in my opinion the 28 with a great 175/180 is king of the heap. Less recoil than the 30 and higher BC bullets until you get into the real heavy stuff and even then it’s not much better. Just for grins compare a 175 ABLR at Nosler’s top speed with a 210 ABLR in a 30. See...

    Weather by 307 Ranger XP 2.0?

    Those new 307’s don’t look too bad. Price is reasonable for the amount of rifle you get.

    A new kid on the block...

    I have some of the 140’s for a 264 I haven’t tried yet. They seem like great bullets that Speer will get rid of next year ;)

    Federal’s 7mm Backcountry

    None of those are really “fast” powders. I’ve never seen load data for it before but that is pretty cool stuff. It’ll be interesting when things all get sorted out. It’s a truly neat cartridge. I’d love to have that capability in a Kimber Montana 84L sized rifle.

    H870 data

    Hard to believe what we “got by with” when we didn’t have all the fancy stuff. But I’m sure it was all pretty good when you got to put the atlatl down ;)

    Federal’s 7mm Backcountry

    Hopefully they get you squared away. That’s a little heart braking just before hunting season.

    I agree. Nothing is going to slip through that.

    Has anybody tried Staball 6.5 in 243?

    I haven’t in a 243 but do in a 6mm CM. Works excellent and it’s very accurate. Maybe take a peak at Hodgdons online data and see what they have.

    The lands on a pre-‘64 264 WM?

    I have a Classic M70 264 and a new made 264 and both are pretty easy to situate most bullets to get into the lands and still be within the mag. The chambers they cut were made for old 2 diameter bullets so normal bullets engage the lands under 3.3” most of time. By normal I mean 127 LRX, 140 ABs...

    Would You Hunt Red Stag w/ this Load?

    It would be interesting to see what 5 shots of group 6 looks like.

    Would You Hunt Red Stag w/ this Load?

    Im actually just the opposite experience. They are kinda lack luster till you put the boots to them and get that rear end to bump up. Sometimes dropping to a slightly faster powder has helped in some instances.

    Would You Hunt Red Stag w/ this Load?

    If your magazine permits it, .020 off the lands aint a bad way to fly with a bullet like the PT or the BT in my opinion. I think you'll find some great results with getting the bullet situated where it wants to be and doing some powder charge work. Good luck, either the 130 BT or the heavy PT...

    200 Grain Accubonds in the 30-06

    I guess I am the odd man out here. I think the 200 AB and similar are really good in the 06, 2600+ is achievable and a bit more with some of the good powders out there today. I used the 212 ELD for elk a few years ago in an 06 with SB6.5 powder in Lapua brass. With the increased BC of the...
